The project is about deploying and managing a reverse proxy-based security architecture on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to integrate Glasswall’s Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology. It focused on using AWS-native tools and services to ensure secure, scalable, and high-availability file sanitization across the client's cloud infrastructure.

The client needed a secure and cloud-native approach to implement reverse proxy use cases for Glasswall CDR. Their key requirements included hosting the proxy and all supporting services entirely on AWS, leveraging Amazon’s load balancing and SSL termination capabilities, and building a scalable architecture to handle varying traffic loads. Additionally, the project required secure integration with Amazon S3 for storing files both before and after sanitization, along with support for continuous deployment through CI/CD pipelines.

To meet the client's needs, we developed and deployed:

• A reverse proxy setup using AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) and EC2 instances
• Glasswall CDR integration via Lambda functions and API Gateway
• File handling workflow using S3 buckets with strict IAM-based access
• CloudWatch for logging, monitoring, and alerting on file sanitization events
• Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) setup using AWS CloudFormation and Git-based versioning for easy updates
